Chapter 32
Extensive Training
Extensive training. Come to think of it, that was a concept far from Kim Bongpal.
Fuck. I never thought Id come to a world other than the Earth to train.
Now, Kim Bongpal was in a vacant lot attached to the annex he was staying in. It was wide, so it was the best place for Kim Bongpal to train.
A minute passed while Kim Bongpal stood with his hand on his sword without acting. As the old saying goes, well begun is half done. Kim Bongpal, already half-finished with his training, was now facing a problem he hadnt even thought of.
Haah. Training.
He asked himself.
How do I do that?
It was a question he had never thought about before.
* * *
Oh my. Didnt you say you would return after I called you?
I have an additional quest to entrust you with.
He ended his worries quick. Kim Bongpal had never trained or practiced anything in his life. Therefore, it wouldnt be very efficient to think about how he should train alone. As soon as he concluded this, he visited Young-no.
Id like to hire someone.
What kind of person?
The Unity of Heart, and also the Black Shot Energy Technique. Do you know these martial arts books?
Kim Bongpal took the martial arts books from his subspace bag and handed them over. Young-no scanned their covers and replied.
Yes. The Unity of Heart is a Mind Control Technique of a fallen noble family that once had a reputation in Moorim. The Black Shot Energy Technique, as I remember, is a technique of a master called Dark Slayer Elder.
Is that so? Anyway, I need a martial arts master who can teach me these. I would like their level higher than Shi Wu-yuans.
With those words, Young-no also roughly understood Kim Bongpals situation. She knew he came from another world, not Moorim or Lupaine. So, she could guess that he used a power other than martial arts.
Stronger than Blood Master Shi, huh? Even in Purple Clouds, known as the abode of demons, such masters are rare. Hmm, how about this?
In fact, the conditions of Kim Bongpals request were tricky. There was no way that a Master stronger than Shi Wu-yuan would teach martial arts to anyone but their disciples. However, Young-no knew someone who resembled the conditions that Kim Bongpal set.
It was because there were people who were close to professional instructors who taught martial arts to Otherworlders. Most of the cases where masters from Lupaine studied martial arts were due to such people. And among those from Moorim that Young-no knew, there was a man who conducted such business.
He is not yet at a similar level as Blood Master Shi or you, Sword Phantom, butstill, I know a man with a good reputation who makes teaching his business. Fortunately, he is also here in Purple Clouds now.
Of course, no matter how urgently they needed money, no warriors would leak their special skills to others. This man only taught the basics of martial arts, not the exclusive techniques. But Kim Bongpals case was a little different.
Kim Bongpal already had books as good as any masters exclusive teaching.
Oh. Thats good. Can you call him right now? Oh, I want to hire him for about fifteen days, but is what I showed you last time enough?
Uhm. The subspace bag I saw last time? I think thats pretty good, except for the Great Spirit Pill.
Really? Great. You know where I am staying, right? Send him there.
Yes.
* * *
Nice to meet you. Please call me Tearing Wind Sword.
The martial arts instructor introduced himself as Tearing Wind Sword.
I have heard about you.
Tearing Wind Sword pondered for a moment. How should he address Kim Bongpal? He looked too young to be a Great Warrior, and his achievements werent small enough to be called Young Warrior.
Sword Phantom, I heard you killed Shi Wu-yuan, the Blood Master of Dreimoor.
Kim Bongpal slowly looked the man over. Considering that a Moorim whod mastered martial arts aged slower, this man must be older than the youthful 30 he appeared as.
Since such a great master asked me to teach him martial arts, I thought you were from Lupaine. But, hmm. You look like youre from Moorim, but your language is different.
Well, does it matter?
Uhm. Thats right, and it doesnt matter. Then, may I read the books?
Yeah. There are two of them. I dont think I need to look at the first one. The Unity of Heart? Its not very useful.
Then Ill just look at the Black Shot Energy Technique. Ah! You dont have to worry about a leak. Even if my reputation isnt that great, I promise I wont even consider it when the contract ends, risking my honor as a warrior.
Well, do whatever you want.
Tearing Wind Sword flinched at Kim Bongpals casual reply. Then he shook his head and nodded. He was forty and eight this year. So, he felt a little dissatisfied. Kim Bongpal looked just like a man in his late twenties. Considering that the Half-Turn Aging was a blessing granted only to the Transcendent, his actual age must not be much different from what was shown.
Of course, since Tearing Wind Sword was weaker than Shi Wu-yuan, he swallowed his dissatisfaction. Besides, it had been long since Tearing Wind Sword started his current job and threw away his pride. After all, his nickname, which meant tearing the wind with his sword, was long forgotten by others.
Now, it was to mock him for selling his sword.
Well. This guy shouldnt have high expectations for martial arts like everyone else.
Tearing Wind Sword accepted the Black Shot Energy Technique book from Kim Bongpal. When those from Lupaine arrived in the Shire, the first thing they looked for was martial art technique books. After that, they looked for someone to teach them because it was difficult to interpret martial arts independently.
It was a matter of course. The masters of Lupaine used their mana to exert superhuman powers, just like those from Moorim used their inner Qigong. However, the path they walked on greatly differed. According to Moorims standards, although there were some subtle differences, Lupaines training method was similar to external Qigong.
Anyway. There was the fact that most of the Lupaine people who tried to master martial arts were faced with a wall. No matter how hard they practiced, their bodies struggled to keep up, and it was almost impossible for them to freely handle these skills as they wanted. It was because the Lupaine-style Qigong they had learned throughout their lives and the Moorim style were so different.
Therefore, Tearing Wind Sword had no choice but to be concerned. There must be only one reason why Sword Phantom, who was skilled enough to beat Shi Wu-yuan, wanted to learn martial arts, and that was to be stronger. Moreover, he must be trying to master them within this short period of fifteen days due to the pride in the martial arts he learned on his own.
However, in Tearing Wind Swords point of view, fifteen days wasnt enough time to lay the foundation for the Black Shot Energy Technique.
Uhm. Black Shot Energy Techniqueit contains a much deeper principle than I know. It was not for nothing that Dark Slayer Elder was listed as a great Master.
After reading the book, Tearing Wind Swords worries intensified. Rather, there seemed a greater aspect in the Dark Slayer Elders skill than the fame he achieved.
No, it feels strange that he was only a great Master.
Dark Slayer Elder was once named one of the most powerful white-path Masters in Moorim, but his reputation would be several times more if he had succeeded in mastering the Black Shot Energy Technique.
Fortunately, Tearing Wing Sword knew enough to understand the Black Shot Energy Techniques principles.
.Hoo.
He couldnt help but sigh with admiration.
Hyatt-hyatt.
Kim Bongpal stood next to him, doing his own trainingso, how long did this ridiculous scene of spitting out strange sounds and swinging a sword last?
Oh! I see! All right, Ive read it all.
Tearing Wind Sword called Kim Bongpal.
First of all, I would like to say thank you. I learned quite a bit as I read.
Kim Bongpal answered with a boring look.
Enough with the greetings. So when are you going to teach me?
Uhm. If you have such an urgent personality, how can you have the patience to learn?
Tearing Wind Sword struggled to swallow his thoughts. After all, this wasnt like the transfer of martial arts between master and disciple. He had to do his best to teach his customer according to their payment. It was up to Sword Phantom how much he achieved in that process.
Of course, Tearing Wind Sword thought he would be unable to master even a percent of the Black Shot Energy Technique.
Okay. Then Ill start explaining. First, this technique.
Anyway, Kim Bongpals martial arts training began in earnest.
* * *
This is the principle of Black Shot Energy Technique as far as I understand. Of course, its not perfect. The Black Shot Energy Technique is said to be a martial art created by the Dark Slayer Elder, but that seems to have been a rumor. Some principles are difficult to understand with the skills of the Dark Slayer Elder known in Moorim. Because of that, there were passages that I also didnt understand.
Tearing Wind Sword watched Kim Bongpal as he listened. His expression hadnt changed while he stood there. It might not be because he understood all the principles recited. Rather, it was more likely to be the opposite. More than half of the Lupaine Masters he had taught so far were similar.
But then, Kim Bongpal, who had been quiet until now, asked.
Oh, theres that verse earlier. After you put the force in the sword, what did you have to do to shoot it?
That thing? The martial arts book says to swing a sword through the air using the outer part of the elbow, but you dont have to worry about it. Unlike the inside part of the elbow, some outer parts arent available for some warrior unless they have transcended.
Tearing Wind Sword couldnt finish his explanation.
Huh?
He looked ahead with wide-open eyes, uttering a very bewildered sound.
Oh, fuck it. Somethings coming out?
Although the size was small, Kim Bongpal fired a brightly-colored wave.
Baang!
It fired from Kim Bongpals sword and struck a rock in the distance.
Hey. Its worth the money spent on this. Fuck. If I make it a little bigger, it will affect a wider area, right?
W-whats that?
Tearing Wind Swords mouth slowly fell. What did he just see?
Ooh. Good, I like it. What was your name? Tearing Mind Sword? Tearing Find Sword? Can you teach me?
It was neither Tearing Mind Sword nor Tearing Find Sword but Tearing Wind Sword.
Five hours had passed since he arrived to teach Kim Bongpal. It took him a little over four hours to read the book. In other words, in less than an hour of training, Kim Bongpal had progressed this far.
